What it is

Milk powder is a dairy product made by removing water from pasteurized milk. This can be done through evaporation or spray-drying. The resulting powder can be stored for longer periods than liquid milk and is easier to transport.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add milk powder to foods to provide a milky flavor and creamy texture. It also acts as a binder and can improve the browning of baked goods. It is commonly found in chocolate, baked goods like cookies and cakes, ice cream, and infant formula.

Health notes

Milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D, which are important nutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated milk powder and established an acceptable daily intake. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities or intolerances to milk proteins or lactose.

Allergen info

Milk powder is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
